Chapter 1827 The day after the title inspiration disappeared, I still think about it
The slabs bloomed with luster, but the range of luster was not large, and they did not even leave the scope of the slabs, as if there was some invisible force to confine them in it.
Aishain's guard stood in front of the stone slab and was startled, but he quickly calmed down. He had not followed Aishain to participate in Yixiao's experiment for the first time...Aishain and his guards were not needed in the temple. At that time, only Aishain and his slaves were there with Nefihaut.
However, this guard was fortunate to become the candidates for voluntarily joining the next few batches... Although he was Aishain's guard, the guard was not a slave and he still had freedom.
At that time, he got a card, which seemed to be called a stick, or something, but the next moment he was taken away by the temple guards waiting next to him.
This guy was not angry, but was happy. After all, the sign that this thing was originally playing was divine grace, and he thought this was the correct process of divine grace.
As long as news about the card is spread by Nefihaut again, people from the outside world and him will know what the card is.
I have had experiences and mentally prepared before, so this guard certainly has nothing to be afraid of.
And... Yixiao's simple machine is much simpler and much faster than before.
The light burst for about two seconds, and the guard in front of the stone slab suddenly stopped, as if he had inexplicably known what he was going to do. He suddenly focused on the blank space in front of his eyes, and then the next moment, a card with luster was condensed out of thin air.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, and as soon as he picked it up, the card fell into his hand.
Then in the next moment, the luster around the card disappeared, and then there was only a gray card left... It was really gray because the card was surrounded by gray.
The guard was still stunned. Nefihat on the other side was already impatiently watching, and immediately a temple guard stepped forward with a very long look and pushed him away.
"Let's go! Next!"
He shouted loudly.
The guard was pushed and staggered...but he didn't dare to speak, but nodded his head, and quickly pushed it away, walking a little further and waiting for Aishayin and others to see it.
It's gray, the whole card is gray, which makes people feel that this thing is not worth a lot of value at first glance.
Then there is the feel, after all, the feel will be conveyed at the first time.
The strange material, the guard pinched the cards twice, like paper, because they were very light and thin, but they were not, because he couldn't even pinch them with his fingers.
Don't underestimate the power of people in this era... Although this guard is not a mutant, in this ancient era, everything depends on humans.
Humans have no machinery and no other power to rely on. The only thing they can rely on is their own power.
Their strength is very great, and these are all developed through overdrawing potential and years of training. It is also why the lifespan of people in ancient times was more important and shorter.
Over thousands of years, human beings may have undergone some transformation and evolution, but there must be no such a drastic change.
Excluding the occasional genetic mutation, even if people in ancient times had no machinery and could only overdraw their bodies every day, it would never be possible to have a few tons of one hand.
The human body may have changed over thousands of years, but it cannot be changed so much.
Human beings cannot do it after a thousand years, and human beings cannot do it for thousands of years.
But no matter what, in this wilderness era, humans at this period have stronger ontological qualities than humans in a thousand years later.
This is squeezed out from a backward civilization.
The guard was a little confused. His fingers could even crush thinner wood chips, but he could not crush this so-called "card" like paper.
If you can't crush it, it will naturally be impossible to bend it, so it seems quite strong, and you don't know how water or fire...
As a slave-owner guard in ancient Egypt, of course, he would not have any experimental concepts in his head, nor would he be willing to put the cards into a fire or well to see them. This idea turned around in his mind, and then his attention was focused on the cards themselves.
This is a sword.
Of course he recognized it, after all, there was a sword hanging around his waist.
In fact, this sword that is considered to be a very common long sword style, is not a knight sword, a two-handed sword, or something. To be precise, it should be a short sword. Only a short sword with a short arm length, or even a shorter one can be called a dagger.
Ancient Egypt was not a country that was good at using swords. They prefer spears and giant shields... But swords are indeed the leader of hundreds of soldiers. In any case, melee combat will not be missing.
So they also have another weapon specially used for short-term combat, namely a sword, but a dagger.
This short sword is very thick and heavy, but it is guaranteed to be held with one hand. It can be used for chopping or straight stabs, and there is no gorgeous sword technique. Whether it is a large-scale collective battle of the legion or a guard like them fighting in the streets and alleys, they use the most basic chopping method.
The most labor-saving and deadliest way.
The spear and dagger are standard, and there is also a small round shield, so how could he not recognize the style of dagger?
The gray card, the pattern on it is a dagger?
The guard thought it was quite interesting, but what was even more interesting was that he saw a line of text under the pattern... He did not recognize such text, but in fact, he was illiterate at all.
But strangely, he could actually understand the meaning of these words.
"A...short sword?"
He recited silently.
Then in the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand as if subconsciously. The card disappeared in the moment that his eyes could not capture. Instead, a short sword fell into his hand suddenly and appropriately.
It's the one in the pattern I saw on the card before.
The guard was stunned for a moment.
There are mutants in this era. If it were normal in the ancient Egyptian era, he would have knelt down in his heart and screamed in his mouth, calling for something like God's kindness...
But in this era when mutants ruled ordinary people, with the mutant's ability to have all kinds of strange abilities, most ordinary people are familiar with each other.
Even if I haven't seen it, I won't be so excited that I can't do it myself.
Besides... this card is originally a divine grace, and the guards have known it before.
But he was still a little excited and raised the dagger in front of him with a slight trembling. The guard carefully stroked the sword blade and the sword spine of the dagger carefully... To be honest, the workmanship of this thing is not very good. After all, the surface is rough and the sword blade does not have a sharp feeling at all.
But it is probably enough to cut people, and most importantly, it...
"go back."
The guard once again said two words without any guidance... He just said casually, mainly what he thought, and then the dagger in his hand turned into a card again as he thought, and it happened to be clamped by his two fingers.
The guard felt that he had probably realized how to use this thing.
He began to convert the dagger into a card, and then convert the card into a dagger, with various angles and various sudden changes... but the results all satisfied him.
Because no matter what, the long sword will fall into the most perfect angle in his hand and happens to be held by him... Of course, there is no need to delve into it if it turns back into the card.
It's indeed a good thing... No, it's indeed a God's grace!
The guards were very surprised. Although the spear was their main weapon, whether it was the battle formation of the legion or the battle between the alleys, the spear was the main force of the first echelon, but as an old mercenary... the guards actually became more clear after years of fighting. The short sword was the more powerful weapon when the short soldiers were connected.
With such a thing, his combat power will naturally be greatly increased.
...This guard was a mercenary. In ancient Egypt, of course, it was not as professional as the mercenaries in later generations, but there were already mercenaries.
Speritifs, or groups... but they are mercenaries, but they are just a group of guys who work hard when they give money. Those with better quality may even charge money to do things. The rest are pure robbers. When they see their employer bringing their own people, they will do things honestly. Once the employer is in trouble, it will be good not to add insult to injury, let alone expecting professional qualities.
But if he was selected by Aishayin, the slave owner, the guard was obviously qualified.
In fact, he has been with Ai Xiayin for seven or eight years, and is no different from his own. After all, he has been familiar with him for seven or eight years.
Because there are fewer people in this era, the relationship between people is closer. Although the number of mutants is said to be one hundred thousand million, there must be more ordinary people, but that is all the land deserts distributed around the entire Nile River Basin.
Once the number of people is separated, there will be much fewer people.
Just like the entire holy city, it is actually only barely approaching the 100,000 mark, and it has not yet broken through... This is where Conqueror Kang was before.
After playing with the dagger for a while, the guard reluctantly put the card away. He put the card into a lining pocket near his collar and decided to go back and think about where to sew it so that he could get it quickly.
Because he had already experimented, this thing must be held in his hand to be useful, and there was no response at other times.
Of course, before the card was closed, he also looked at the numbers behind the two circles in the upper left corner of the card. These two circles represent the meaning of infinity. He also learned without a teacher. As for the number behind, it was 132.
It seems to represent the value of the card, but he doesn't know whether the value of 132 is low.
But looking at the rough material of this dagger, the guards thought it would be no longer tall.
Not far away, the guard's movements were clearly seen, and the person who was observing secretly was naturally Nefihort.
He didn't care about how these slaves were or what they were thinking, but Yi Xiao assigned him the task was to test whether the machine was useful... He naturally needed to do it himself.
Judging from that guy's actions, it should be... easy to use.
Nefihaut felt that he might not have fully understood the definition of usefulness, so he decided to observe here for a while before giving feedback to Yi Xiao.
Anyway, for him, it never takes time to travel, it is just a matter of thought.
So he knocked on the strap impatiently, Nefihat pressed his patience again and began to observe.
At the same time, there were many people who witnessed the movement of this guard, including slaves queuing, other guards queuing, or mutant guards in the temple, etc.
Well...this may not include Aishain, because he was being pushed to the stone tablet by the temple guards. Although he knew there was no danger, he still couldn't help but tremble.
He has never experienced and seen all this.
Not including Aishain, but Old Toum and Little Dora.
The two people at the end of the line clearly saw the guard's small movements... There was no such thing as myopia in this era. At most, there were presbyopia, but Lao Tum did not, and he could see it very clearly.
Xiao Dora is even the same. She is already a half-aged child, but she is definitely not an adult. Xiao Dora looked at the daggers that were constantly disappearing in the guards' hands and looked envious.
Since there is no temple to take it away, the grace of God does indeed belong to them. There is no way for the grace of God to be stopped by Aishain, and the slaves will not know what they have missed, but once the grace of God falls into their hands, even Aishain has no right to take it away.
No man doesn't like weapons, especially in this era when force is particularly important.
So Xiao Dora's eyes were full of envy. In fact, let alone Xiao Dora's half-aged child, most of the adult slaves and guards were also full of excitement.
This thing is also valuable to them.
For slaves who have nothing, it is more likely to be the only thing that belongs to them.
The queues of long queues are shrinking, and more and more people are walking out in front of the stone tablet, including slaves, Ai Xiayin's accompanying guards, and Ai Xiayin himself.
Most of the things they transform into cards in their hands are similar, a short sword, a linen clothing or a linen trousers, and even a simple stone.
Most of them are the same, only these... or to be more precise, they are exactly the same, the style of the dagger is exactly the same, and even the wear and tear on it is the same, let alone numb clothes and pants.
...Of course, the exact same stone is a bit weird.
But it is not that strange to think that this is God’s grace.
Although there are only linen clothes and pants, as well as simple things like dagger stones, the people who got the cards were still very excited.
Like the guard at the beginning, they kept changing them out, then transforming them into cards, and then changing them back again... They looked a little overexcited.
However, this does not include Old Toum.
